You would need a Windows 7 installation disc but it could probably be done. Why would you want to though?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have 32 bit applications that will not install or run in Win10, engineering programs I use to diagnose problems on industrial machinery I support in the field , while support for Win7 is coming to a close its the best windows OS ever created by Microsoft, not a fan of Win10 and hate the fact you spend hours running updates before you can even use the laptop
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I used to feel the same way about Win 7, but have gradually come to appreciate Win 10. But each to his own. Have you tried running/installing the programs you need using Compatibility Mode (Google this if you are unfamiliar with how to do it)? I had a Linksys Printer Server for years that would not work with anything above Windows XP, but was able to use it that way. Should have no problem with earlier versions of Windows. I have installed Linux, Android, Chrome, Win 8, and 10 on similar laptops. Type "Recovery Drive" into the Search field for instructions on how to create a backup copy of the OS. It is pretty easy and straightforward. Depending on your storage media, should take up to 1.5 hours or so. Usually needs a 16 GB drive. Keep in mind that no data will be saved, and that the OS will be saved exactly as is (with or without updates, etc.). I don't know if this is 32-bit or 64-bit, but the trend is toward 64-bit, so I would think the latter, just for the manufacturer to simplify his processes by producing one type of MOBO, even for the least expensive PCs. If you have a 32-bit install copy of Win 10, it will work on either, though 64-bit will only work with 64-bit CPUs.
